When becoming a character, you have to steal. Steal whatever you see. You can even steal from other actors' characterizations; but if you do, only steal from the best.

The first actor I ever saw was The Lone Ranger. I thought: "That's what I want to do."

In film, other actors' performances really are not your concern. If the other actor isn't giving you what you want, act as though he were.

I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.

Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them

You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.

I didn't want to come in the movie every so often, every 20 minutes saying, 'Dinner is served, would you like coffee?'
